Default Interwetten VOIDs!

Dear fellow members,

I have to say some bad news about Interwetten, they are voiding the bets placed on Terek Groznyi - Sp Nalcik for reasons of investigating this match and it is already 3 days after the match has been settled !

Is this a fair dealing with customers? If they fail to keep up with market price, why the customers has to pay their losses?

Any other member with this unlucky bet?

Thanks

Ive just checked my account and noticed they have took the money back out of my account today after putting my winnings in on the 29th. I wonder what they would have done if i had withdrew my money. This is a unacceptable but they are in their right to do so because its written in there rules. Its not like they would have taken thousands on it cause the max is $60 on this bet.

Their customer service is brutal at times, then again. Maybe it's because they don't like dealing with mediators at all.

How far out of market pricing was it anyways?

If you need some assistance with this matter. Please feel free to fill out a complaint form, and one of us will inquire to them on your behalf.

The price at Interwetten was 1.90 which was correct and in line with other books. The Asian books and Betfair then crashed the price down to 1.30 within 60 minutes. Interwetten got caught out when other books was cutting the prices. I placed 3 bets at 3 different books and the other 2 have paid me without a problem. They have also took my stake money out of my account and not just the winnings.

Interwetten is a horrible book if you beat them. They limited me fast then required me to pay for a bank wire to get my winnings for "security reasons". I deposited via moneybookers and sent them my ID but that was insufficient. I now have a $25 max risk on any bet there.

What do you mean? It was not a typing mistake. The price was correct at 1.90, but then rumours started going around the match, and the odds dropped to around 1.15 at betfair. But all books started around 1.90, so they cant blame it on the fact that it was a typing error.

i think he means this rule

"Interwetten further reserves the right to cancel any bets in particular if there is a justified suspicion of an event or a bet placed thereon being manipulated/rigged"

almost every book has a rule like this, it's just never enforced in practice (with the notable exception of the Davydenko/Betfair-case). i gotta admit it's a bit strange, the game was definitely suspicous, but there are games like this at least every month somewhere in some far away eastern european league.

that game in particular was one of those suspicious eastern games.

In another forum i already knew that something fishy would happened in that match.

Bwin also put that price wrong, someone said they put them at 3,3!!!

plus in betfair the home team started with a price of 2, which was collapsed to 1,2
The away team, from 5-6 went to 9.

The amount matched in that match was about 550.000€, when usually was around 30k-40k
Away team started winning, but the game finishes with home win by 2-1 and this last goal was by penalty.

If all these things aren't suspicious....

I got my willings voided, too:

Dear Sir!

thank you for your mail!

the processed winnings on the soccer match Terek Grozny vs. Spartak Nalcik had to be
revoked due to some pending investigations on this event. As soon as these
investigations have been finished, the bets on this event will be calculated
according to the result of the research.

Service Team


This game was very very suspicious but they should keep the result as it is unless local football federation starts investigation and takes some actions against these 2 teams.

I guess they have taken the stake as they haven't yet cancelled/voided the event, just began an investigation..

Yes, investigation but I dont think they will pay back the 1.90 price, anyway i wish i would be wrong this time

I think very much players has placed bet on that eventand won there, even if they have a 50EUR limit on that (or so)

Anyway the bet isn't voided as one still can find it under 'open bets'. I played the bet with other bookmakers too and all except Interwetten graded the bet as a win.

Nice! So this means that they're going to credit me back for all the $$$ I lost in those NBA games officiated by Tim Donaghy, right?

I think they are only waiting for some official news or what.
I'm wondering that if somebody has lost, did they also refunded them?
One cancelled match won't save them from bankruptcy this way..

How you could call it a euro version of SBR, is beyond my understanding..First of all, they dont help clients in sportsbook disputes. 2nd, its basically just forums for bonus abusers, but some nice info on Soccer leagues. Same bonus abusers are yelling "scam scam scam" on every book if they experience a slight problem, even if it is PInnacle or any other top book. And finally, the site has promoted so many shitty sites like for example betroyal. So I think its wise not to compare, unless you know the facts.
